Non-powered AUs are some of my favorites. Here’s my first AU rec list (though some are powered and some are non-powered). But, let’s see about some non-powered, regular guy AUs, huh? Surprisingly, there aren’t as many non-billionaire Tony AUs as I would have thought, but here are a few suggestions, and if anyone has others, please feel free to add them!
POWER UP YOUR AUTHORS WITH COMMENTS AND KUDOS!
Uber Driver AU by theappleppielifestyle: “Where to?”The man rattles off an address- high end for the neighbourhood they’re in now, not to mention the scruffy hoodie and sweatpants the guy is wearing. Then the guy leans forwards so he’s nearly off the seat and says, “Okay, honestly, I’m about thirty seconds from passing out so I’m going to need you to start talking. About anything. Your dog, your job, your first memory of your dead Aunty Bessie, I don’t care, just talk to me, go.”(Or: Steve drives for Uber. Tony is a customer with a poor rating.)
We Got No Money (But We Got Heart) by liberalmage: Steve loves Tony, billionaire or not.
Enchanted to Meet You by wisia: Steve Rogers, some what savvy businessman, bumps into Tony, an poor engineer student.
Like a Stunned Mullet by @veldeia: With Tony Stark, mining engineer, dying under a boulder, he and Steve Rogers, mining captain, realize they have things to tell one another.
Running by @kurowrites: Steve as a rich and famous artist & Tony as a poor mechanic AU. Or something like that.Two drabbles combined into one.
Two Broke Guy$ by Tacuma: Two Broke Girls Crossover, but you can understand and enjoy this even if you haven’t seen the show!Steve is a poor man, who lives in Brooklyn. He has three jobs to pay his rent and save money for his big dream. Tony Stark used to be a billionaire, but when his father was locked up for fraud they lost all their money. Now he has to take care of himself and ends up working in a lousy diner in Brooklyn. He and Steve become enemies, colleagues, roommates, friends and eventually more than that. At first Tony is missing his life and his money, but Steve and his friends show that poor life isn’t boring at all.
Come On In by starspangledsprocket: The last thing Tony expected when he moved into his new apartment was to repeatedly catch his neighbour in various stages of undress, and yet here he was.
Wheeling and Dealing (Has Been Remixed) by AnonEHouse: Steve just needs a cheap car, Tony is trying to sell him on something more.
Abstinence is Not In Tony Stark’s Dic(k)tionary by @emeraldine087: The Players - Steve Rogers is a conservative, introverted, socially awkward, dog-loving, stick-to-one romantic, who is a staunch believer in long-term relationships after having been a part of one for three years, and living next door to him is new tenant, Tony Stark, a philandering, fuck-anything-that-moves, confident, sarcastic, cat-loving, self-made Lothario whose relationships are about as lengthy and as meaningful as a fellatio (literally speaking).The Challenge - Steve will go on dates, getting tips and tidbits from Tony to be able to get back in the dating scene while Tony will abstain from any and all sexual activity (including masturbation) for thirty days.The Incentive - (mostly for Tony’s benefit) A no-strings-attached one-night-stand between the socially awkward romantic and the philandering Lothario.Can Tony follow through on his challenge despite all of the naysayers? Can Steve change Tony’s mind about love and relationships? What is in store for them around the thirty-day bend: self-discovery? Deep abiding friendship? Love, perhaps?
Building a Home by syriala: Written for this one sentence prompt on Tumblr: “Please don’t leave me behind”When Tony’s career suddenly takes off, Steve is afraid that Tony will build a future without him in it.
Fight Me, Doctor Stark by snarkstark: Steve hated hospitals. Bucky hated carrying him to them. It was a lose-lose situation really.
That is, until he sees the Doctor.
~Hospital AU based on a Tumblr post! I couldn’t resist writing a fic on it.
